480 and Latium are now differently stated : and the feelings ex- cited at Rome by the Latin claims are more clearly explained. Another interesting alteration is the correction of Livy's erroneous statement (viii. 14.) as to the franchise conferred on Aricia^ Nomentum, and Pedum. This, with the communi- cation of a topographical discovery made by the author at Rome, which determines the position of the Rostra nova, and leads to some interesting conclusions with regard to the form of the old Rostra, is the principal fruit we reap from the new chapter on this subject. But the following one, On the Publilian laws, has been entirely remodelled, and retains little more than the title of the original one. It appears from a note of the editor in a subsequent page to represent the author's latest views of this obscure and important question.

Here then, at page 174, that portion of the new volume which relates to subjects treated of in the first edition ends. With respect to the remainder we cannot perhaps communi- cate the information which it is the object of this notice to give, better than by exhibiting at one view the titles of the chapters, with the number of pages occupied by each, and then subjoining a few explanatory remarks.
